More woke nonsense from Disney; at least they could try to make something less obvious and in your face, but it doesn't seem they really care. Better than "The Acolyte?" Perhaps, but that isn't setting the bar very high.

I expected "Superman" to be another DC flop (their films haven't been up to Marvel standards for the most part) but I was pleasantly surprised; it's actually a good movie. When I saw the trailer I thought it looked lame, but once the positive reviews starting coming in from friends and family the wife and I had to go see it. "Superman" isn't a great superhero movie, but it was enjoyable and the cast gave solid performances. it didn't hurt, of course, that Gunn was directing; he has turned out some classics for Marvel in the past. I enjoyed "Superman" and will definitely go to the sequel that I hope is forthcoming. I honestly hope this movie is indicative of better DC films to come.

Considering what Marvel has been putting out since Disney took over, this was a pretty good film, relatively devoid of the "woke" qualities to be found in earlier Disney/Marvel outings (think "Kang" for an example). My wife loved the film due to the psychological aspects involving the protagonist, while I found it very entertaining. I still think "Days of Future Past," "X-Men: Apocalypse," and the Infinity Wars series were better films, but "Thunderbolts" was a good Marvel movie. Definitely worth seeing.

I thought it was overall an entertaining film and worth the watch. The characters are interesting and while there are some obvious holes in the whole idea behind it, it is well done and never gets tedious. The pacing is very good as is the acting. Not a great film, but a good one. I enjoyed seeing it. Thatcher dominates the film and the others, as good as they are, come across as a supporting cast. Kudos to her for a fine job.

Just returned from seeing Moana 2 and have to say I was disappointed. I really wanted to love it, as I enjoyed the first one so much, but it just didn't have the same magic. None of the songs were memorable to me, and the story didn't grab my attention either. It also felt too long; by the time the bat woman was singing her forgettable song I felt like taking a nap. That being said, the animation was outstanding, I was really impressed by it. The first movie I fell in love with; this sequel felt bloated and empty at the same time. I wish I felt otherwise.

If you loved the original movies you can't help but love this one. Total nostalgia for me, the look, the feel, the music. They didn't make any effort to update or modernize the series, this one could just as easily have been made forty years ago. And that's exactly why it is so enjoyable.

I found the series entertaining, but convoluted at times and hard to follow. Well done technically, solid performances, but I feel the entire story could have been done more satisfyingly in a 2 1/2 hour movie rather than a two season series. The ending, at least for me, was anticlimactic. The world is unraveling, but thanks to Loki figuring out how to control time-shifting he can go back and forth as often as necessary until he figures out what to do. He even takes several centuries learning physics and engineering! Worth watching, but could have been greatly reduced in length; where was the "pruning" when they needed it here? And it's really difficult to imagine the bumbling scientist (reminiscent of the nutty professor) turning at some point in the future into "He Who Remains." All in all it was ok.

Someone here described "The Fall of the House of Usher" as a "masterpiece." Not quite. I found it typical of what Netflix has been putting out lately, namely, woke in every sense of the word, predictable, and formulaic. The style and feel reminds me of "The Umbrella Academy" or "Sandman" in some ways, though both of those were much more entertaining (though equally woke). Nothing about the characters and the situations the Usher people are in is the least bit believable, and after watching "The Fall of the House of Usher" I moan the loss of the precious time which could have been better spent having a lobotomy. Typical Netflix fare, which is to say insipid, woke, predictable, and a waste of time. Of course I know some people will like, even love it (we all have different tastes) but a "masterpiece" it certainly isn't.

I found it sad, even depressing, much like the English Patient in that respect. Of course the performances were first rate, as were the settings, but I dislike leaving a film feeling sad and melancholy as I did when this was over. If period pieces are one's thing, Downton Abbey and other works have much better endings. Great work by the actors, lousy plot.
